Gabe Kelly, an ex-pool champion, and his wife Jane who are just going through life, trying to get by.  They just bought a new home and are starting to settle down.  Their careers are starting to take off.  Everything is looking up for them, until Jane doesn’t come home from a business trip.  When Gabe tries to get a hold of her, his TV turns on.  The screen is an image of a man’s head in silhouette.  The silhouette tells Gabe that if he wants to see his wife again, he needs to play a game of pool.  If he wins, she lives.  If he loses, they both will die.  Unfortunately, the odds are stacked against them.
